I want to be left alone sometimes.
If you want to go hiking in the woods for whatever reason, do you have to take the whole neighbourhood with you?
Living in the mountains is almost by definition an attempt at solitude.

MacGregor lake, perchance? I spent a weekend there and it was fun, but man, it's non-stop randos just walking up with a beer and chatting to you. Not my scene at all. I have a close group of friends and family and totally don't want just any old warm body sitting on my deck with me.
In my area in Canmore we leave each other totally alone and it's the best. I know everyone's names around me and we chit chat, but we keep each other at arm's length because that's what we want.
